Yesterday was the international press freedom day, and a negative verdict would perhaps not be in the best of Egypt´s interest, especially the day before the state is under scrutiny, due to the general strike, called by parts of the opposition on the birthday of the President. although one has to remember that this has not stopped the Egyptian judiciary from celebration press freedom day in their own way. A year ago, Huwaida Taha was sentenced to six months in prison on that very day.
